That's more of a negative thing. Sounds like a cop out to me, instead of actually creating a storyline.

Um... they do create storylines, they just incorporate current events as well. Have you even watched the show, or are you being deliberately obtuse?

I've seen every episode Grace.

Something isn't right when you get paid millions of dollars for something that you can pump out in three days. Using constant pop culture references and internet memes in your show is a complete cop out. Of course it's going to be funny to some people simply on the basis that they never thought a show would make an allusion to that shitty youtube video everyone who spent three minutes on the internet has heard of. I honestly don't see how anyone with any shred of humor could find the show the least bit funny any more. The fan base shrunk to young teenagers years ago.

And stop pretending like South Park is this complex enigma of a television program littered with inside jokes. It isn't Harvey Birdman.

I particularly enjoy the satirical political based episodes. I never really get the impression they are using the show as a medium to express their own views. More just a mock at the stupidity and hypocrisy of society at large. Now they seem to have trimmed off the conclusions Stan and Kyle come to and thus seem more to have removed their own political views than bolster them.

I honestly have never found South Park to be funny. Sure I've laughed at it at times, but that doesn't mean I find it entertaining, but rather pathetic that such a show could have lasted for all these seasons.
